Question by Peter M: Could my anxiety disorder be causing acne?
Is it true that stress causes acne, because generalized anxiety disorder definitely causes stress (and a lot of it). But I was wondering: how much of my acne does that account for?

Having acne is embarrassing. Not knowing which foods that cause acne can be frustrating. So, what I’m going to do is share with you some acne causing foods. That way, you’ll know exactly what foods are causing your acne and how you can stop it from happening.

Foods that are loaded with saturated fats cause you to have acne. These foods include burgers from fast food restaurants, pizzas, meats that are loaded with fats, french fries, and other junk foods. If you consume a lot of these foods, your acne breakout will be severe.

whenever my hair stays my forehead, it eventually clogs the pores on my forehead and causes acne wherever my hair was touching; though I use topical acne treatment, I must wear my hear up every day and must use a hairband every night to ensure no acne forms. I think it is becuase my hair is excessively oily; how do I reduce the oil in my hair? Are there special shampoos/conditioners that would help with this problem? Thank you.

I have pretty bad scars on my cheeks and forhead from acne in the past…It causes me to have alot of anxiety. I hate going out and meeting anyone new. I am soooo paranoid about my scars. I got my picture taken with my three sons and never went and bought the pictures because I couldn’t even look at myself in the pics. I am thinking about them constantly. I will NOT go anywhere without makeup. I won’t take classes or do anything out of my comfort zone all because of my self conciousness about the scars. I know I need to get laser resurfacing so that I can live my life again. I just can’t afford $6000! That’s alot! I know something needs to be done…oh and by the way I was put on antidepressants and nothing made me feel better so I got off them after 7 months. My kids will be in school soon and I’m going to have to start facing alot of new people. I HOPE that there is insurance that would cover this If anyone has any info on this PLEASE advise! Thanks

My dermatologist has long blamed “hormones and stress” for acne breakouts in his female patients. However, I always hear women talk about breaking out around their period. That is when my skin is actually really clear. I usually only break out midcycle. I’m tired of painful cysts that leave scars and want to figure out what hormones could be contributing to this type of hormonal acne. Are you a woman who has dealt with hormonal acne? When do you break out? Has your doctor identified a cause? What treatments have helped you? Would birth control pills make acne worse in some patients, rather than better? Please share your ideas…Thanks so much…

Okay, so I’ve been given a few ways to prevent acne, especially natural recipes; now can anyone tell me a good way to get rid of deep facial acne scars? I’ve been using a natural product called Scargo, and its been working, but at a very slow rate. I’m afraid my face produces more acne then the scar solution can cure the afterwards of. Anyone got any ideas??
Thanks:-)

Water Filters have the capability to remove chlorine from your drinking water. They also remove other contaminants that pose health risks.

We all know that you should drink 8 glasses of water daily to maintain a healthy lifestyle but drinking water straight from the faucet may not be as healthy as we would like. Many studies have shown that water which contains chlorine can cause many problems including skin irritants and other problems such as acne, and rashes. When water companies put chlorine in their water to kill germs they also inadvertently remove Vitamin E in the chlorination process.

Food really causes acne, I can attest to that. The question now is which ones? Though I have tried so many acne treatments available over the counter, I realized that it is not what you put on your skin that cures acne but what you put inside your stomach. So to steer clear of acne breakout, I simply guarded my diet with foods that cause hormonal imbalance.
